Preparing for a sustainable career: challenges and opportunities
Preparing for a sustainable career: challenges and opportunities
A sustainable career can be understood as a dynamic and flexible process that plays out overtime whereby, via career agency, an individual commits to lifelong learning and the generation of personal resources across a series of career experiences that provide meaning to the individual (Van der Heijden & De Vos, 2015). Therefore, the three dimensions of a sustainable career are person, context, and time. Our paper examines the challenges and opportunities that university students face when preparing for a sustainable career since time spent in higher education can act as an antecedent to career sustainability. The content is based on our Closing Keynote Speech at the GiLE4Youth Conference on 2nd June 2022. Conference Website:https://www.gile-edu.org/trainers-and-participants-of-the-gile4youth-conference/

Abstract
A sustainable career can be understood as a dynamic and flexible process that plays out overtime whereby, via career agency, an individual commits to lifelong learning and the generation of personal resources across a series of career experiences that provide meaning to the individual (Van der Heijden & De Vos, 2015). Therefore, the three dimensions of a sustainable career are person, context, and time. Our paper examines the challenges and opportunities that university students face when preparing for a sustainable career since time spent in higher education can act as an antecedent to career sustainability. The content is based on our Closing Keynote Speech at the GiLE4Youth Conference on 2nd June 2022. Conference Website:https://www.gile-edu.org/trainers-and-participants-of-the-gile4youth-conference/
